The past always offers an attractive source of inspiration, but singer/songwriter Rima Kato travels back to an unlikely destination for her forthcoming album Sing-Song. She became fascinated with the works of Victorian poet Christina Rossetti, and her latest finds her offering her take on her work. “A Ring Upon Her Finger” captures a pleasant, charming portrait of one of Rossetti’s romantic creations, focusing on one’s wedding day as a bride walks down the aisle. Kato drapes this story with guitar strums, some light percussion and later on some twee flute playing that gives this a particularly warm air. Listen above.
